Turkey's stocks reportedly fell more than 8% amid fund withdrawal problems

Two posts dated September 19, 2026, say Turkey's stocks fell more than 8% that week as funds struggled to meet investor withdrawals. One says regulators froze and ordered the liquidation of 131 funds worth about $18.3 billion. It also cites officials' allegations that some large managers used related-party, illiquid shares to inflate fund values and attract retail money. The same account describes margin requirements being cut from 35% to 20% and the sovereign wealth fund buying blue-chip stocks. It says liquidation may take three months or more.
